sean barrett - oscar wilde - her voice lyrics

the wild bee reels from bough to bough
with his furry coat and his gauzy wing
now in a lily+cup, and now
setting a jacinth bell a+swing
in his wandering;
sit closer love: it was here i trow
i made that vow

swore that two lives should be like one
as long as the sea+gull loved the sea
as long as the sunflower sought the sun,—
it shall be, i said, for eternity
‘twixt you and me!
dear friend, those times are over and done
love’s web is spun

look upward where the poplar trees
sway in the summer air
here n the valley never a breeze
scatters the thistledown, but there
great winds blow fair
from the mighty murmuring mystical seas
and the wave+lashed leas

look upward where the white gull screams
what does it see that we do not see?
is that a star? or the lamp that gleams
on some outward voyaging argosy,—
ah! can it be
we have lived our lives in a land of dreams!
how sad it seems
sweet, there is nothing left to say
but this, that love is never lost
keen winter stabs the br++sts of may
whose crimson roses burst his frost
ships tempest+tossed
will find a harbor in some bay
and so we may

and there is nothing left to do
but to kiss once again, and part
nay, there is nothing we should rue
i have my beauty,—you your art
nay, do not start
one world was not enough for two
like me and you
